Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Skin I Live In (2011)

The story was told in such a way as to keep us in the dark for as long as possible about what was really going on.  Once I had an inkling of what I was watching, my enjoyment increased markedly.

Banderas is great as a doctor with questionable ethics and the vibe is an interesting mix of tense and antiseptic. Although I was never bored, the ending felt ridiculously rushed.
